Hyrule Historia To See Release Outside Japan

While it is no secret that the Japanese gaming market gets the cream of the gaming goodies, with beautiful limited edition consoles, rare collector’s editions, and weird and wonderful plush characters from a myriad of games, it doesn’t make it any easier to take. Importing is always an option, but it is almost pointless for some media unless you speak the language, with books and RPG or dialogue heavy games being among them. Previously, Zelda fans could only look on in envy as Japanese gamers got to savour the delectable sounding Hyrule Historia… but not any more.

The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia is a complete history of the Zelda universe, full of unseen concept art, the complete history of Hyrule, timeline (good luck with that), manga, and an intro from Miyamoto among other things. It will be published in the US, Europe, and Australia by Dark Horse and will see a release on 29th January, 2013. Tasty.
